read the excerpt from "the storyteller."

"however, the scent of the myrtle was so strong that the wolf could not sniff out where bertha was hiding, and the bushes were so thick that he might have hunted about in them for a long time without catching sight of her, so he thought he might as well go off and catch a little pig instead. bertha was trembling very much at having the wolf prowling and sniffing so near her, and as she trembled the medal for obedience clinked against the medals for good conduct and punctuality. the wolf was just moving away when he heard the sound of the medals clinking and stopped to listen; they clinked again in a bush quite near him. he dashed into the bush, his pale grey eyes gleaming with ferocity and triumph, and dragged bertha out and devoured her to the last morsel. all that was left of her were her shoes, bits of clothing, and the three medals for goodness.”

"were any of the little pigs killed? ”

"no, they all escaped.”

Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt from "that spot" by jack london? i don’t think much of stephen mackaye any more, though i used to swear by him. i know that in those days i loved him more than my own brother. if ever i meet stephen mackaye again, i shall not be responsible for my actions. it passes beyond me that a man with whom i shared food and blanket, and with whom i mushed over the chilcoot trail, should turn out the way he did. i always sized steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. i shall never trust my judgment in men again. why, i nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the stewart; and he saved my life on the little salmon. and now, after the years we were together, all i can say of stephen mackaye is that he is the meanest man i ever knew. a. excited b. ironic c. indignant d. playful
